^  7V/ £  volume  entitled  "Catalogue  of  Original  and  Early 

*         Editions  offome  oj  the  Poetical  and  Profe  Works  of  EngliJJi 

Writers  from  Langland  to  Wither"  published  by  the  Grolier 

Club  in  1893,  met  with  so  kindly  a  reception  from  all  who 

£_       had  occasion  to  consult  it  that  the  Committee,  by  whom  the 

<t       book  -was  prepared,  felt  e?icouraged  to  extend  its  labors.    The 

result  is  the  present  work,  which  may  be  considered  a  con- 

tinuation  of  the  bibliography  of  English  Writers  up  to  the 

<£>      early  years  of  the  eighteenth  century. 

CO 

$2  There  have   been   innumerable  delays  and  disappoint- 

^  ments  connected  with  the  preparation  of  this  work,  chief 
^  among  which  was  the  unexpected  and  lamented  death  of  the 
one  whose  love  for  bibliography,  combined  with  painstaking 
accuracy  of  description,  made  his  untimely  loss  a  serious 
obstacle  to  the  early  completion  of  the  undertaking.  A  large 
\  portion  of  the  present  work  is  the  result  of  the  labors  of 
Ediuard  Hale  Bierstadt,  and  it  seems  due  to  his  memory 
that  his  associates  should  here  record  the  deep  sense  of  their 
appreciation  of  his  character  as  a  man,  and  of  their  admi- 
ration for  his  knowledge  of  bibliography. 

The   continuation   of  the  work  after  Air.   Bierstadt 's 
death  was  undertaken  by  another  member  of  the  Committee, 


£13786 


\  111  Preface 

who  carefully  revised  the  col  la  lions  by  means  of  his  own 
extensive   library,  adding    many   items   that  greatly  in 

\sed  the  scope  and  usefulness  of  the  bibliography. 

dispersion  of  several  important  libraries,  whose 
treasures  had  been  generously  placed  at  the  disposal  of  the 
Committee,  has  proved  another  cause  of  delay,  and  made  it 
impossible  in  many  instances  to  correct  the  proof  by  the 
books  t  house  I  v. 

1 1  is  an  undeniable  fact  that,  notwithstanding  I  he  great 
est  care,  errors  will  creep  in,  and,  in  view  of  the  unexpected 
obstacles  referred  to  above,  it  is  hoped  that  a  generous  al- 
lowance will  be  made  for  the  difficulties  of  arriving  at  per- 
fect accuracy  in  a  work  of  this  nature.  As  in  the  former 
volume,  the  boohs  described  have  been  taken  from  the  libra- 
ries of  mem  bos  of  the  (l  roller  Club,  except  in  a  few  cases 
where  the  importance  of  putting  on  record  the  full  list  of 
an  author  s  writings  compelled  the  Committee  to  turn  else- 
where—  generally  to  the  British  Museum  for  the  volumes 
not  to  be  found  in  this  country. 

The  flan  of  collation  has  remained  the  same  as  adopted 
in  the  former  volume,  the  test  of  over  a  dozen  years  use 
having  fully  proved  its  general  excellence.  The  facsimiles 
of  titles  are  partly  by  the  artotype  process  and  partly 
printed  directly  in  the  text.  'The  object  of  the  reproduction 
is  to  present  a  picture  of  the  title-page  rather  than  the 
exact   size   of   the  original,   which    has   seldom   been    more 

■ii  approximated.  Indeed,  extreme  accuracy  in  this 
respect  is  difficult  owing  to  the  constant  changes  in  the 
gelatin  negative. 

The  works  collated  are  arranged  in  a  single  alphabet 
extending  through  the  three  volumes.      Under  each  author  s 


Preface  ix 

name  the  works  are  given  in  chronological  order,  collected 
editions  following  earlier  separate  volumes.  Translations 
from  other  languages  ai'e  entered  under  the  name  of  the 
translators  with  cross-references  from  the  authors.  Cross- 
references  are  made  to  all  proper  names  from  initials  or 
pseudonyms  given  on  title-pages.  The  third  volume  will 
contain  an  index  of  printers  and  publishers,  and  another 
of  engravers,  which  will  cover  the  volume  of  iSgj  as  well 
as  the  present  volumes,  and,  it  is  thought,  will  be  a  fcahtrc 
of  exceptional  value. 

The  Committee  is  grateful  for  many  kindnesses  on  the 
part  of  those  members  who  have  loaned  their  books  for  the 
purposes  of  the  work,  and  desires  to  make  here  due  acknow- 
ledgment for  these  cotirtesies. 

With  the  earnest  hope  that  the  work  now  finished  may 
be  of  use  to  collectors  and  prove  to  be  a  genuine  Contribu- 
tion to  English  Bibliography,  it  is  submitted  to  the  con- 
sideration of  the  members  of  the  Grolier  Club.

The  plates,  numbering  forty  seven  including  the  frontispiece,  are  prob- 
ably all  engraved  by  Stun,  though  only  the  frontispiece  is  signed  by 
him.  They  are  all  printed  on  the  same  sheets  as  the  text,  and  excepting 
the  firsl  they  all  have  part  of  the  text  printed  on  the  backs.  They  are 
i  opied  from  Hugo's  well  known  book  of  Emblems  and  are  the  same  de- 
OS  that  were  used  for  Quarles's  Emblems.  In  the  preface  Arwaker, 
after  finding  fault  with  Quarles,  who  "only  borrow'd  his  Emblems,  to  prae- 
ti\  them  to  much  inferiqur  fenfe  ",  admits  that  he  himself  has  taken  consid- 
erable liberties  with  his  original,  omitting  some  things,  altering  others, 
and  adding  new  matter  of  his  own.

The  principal  poem  in  this  volume,  "  Salmacis  and  Hermaphroditus  ", 
was  first  published  anonymously  in  1602.  In  that  edition  the  sonnet 
"  To  the  true  Patroneffe  of  all  Poetrie,  Caliope  "  was  not  signed  with  the 
initials  F.  B.  as  in  the  edition  described  above ;  and  the  commendatory 
poem  "To  the  Author",  which  is  signed  J.  F.  (presumably  John  Fletcher) 
in  the  above  edition,  was  signed  A.  F.  in  the  edition  of  1602.  There  is 
no  evidence  that  any  of  the  poems  contained  in  this  volume  were  written 
by  Francis  Beaumont. 

The  volume  was  doubtless  intended  to  end  at  Sig.  E4,  and  the  im-

the  longer  one  being  signed  by  Bishop  Earle.  The  volume  ends  with 
the  well-known  poem  beginning : 

"  Like  a  Ring  without  a  Finger 
Or  a  Bell  without  a  Ringer,"  etc. 

The  authorship  of  this  poem  is  impossible  to  determine.  Poems  on  the 
same  model  are  printed  in  the  works  of  Henry  King,  Francis  Quarles, 
and  other  writers,  and  the  subject  was  a  popular  one  during  the  seven-

In  all  the  known  copies  of  this  work,  Sig.  N3  (pp.  181  and  182)  has 
been  cancelled,  and  occasionally  the  leaf  has  been  cut  out  so  clumsily 
that  on  the  remaining  strip  the  initial  letters  of  the  missing  poem  can  be 
read.  Mr.  F.  G.  Kenyon,  writing  to  the  London  "Athenaeum",  in  the 
number  for  October  19,  1899,  identifies  this  missing  poem  by  means  of 
the  initial  letters  with  a  poem  contained  in  a  manuscript  volume  of  Sir 
John  Beaumont's  poems  preserved  in  the  Stowe  collection  of  MSS.  in 
the  British  Museum.     We  reprint  it  here : 

"On  the  death  of  many  good  People  slaine  by  the  fall  of  a  floore  att  a 
Catholike  Sermon  in  Black  Friers. 

Mann  hath  no  fast  defence,  noe  place  of  rest 

Betweene  the  earthe  and  mansyon  of  the  blest. 

Rayse  him  on  high,  yet  still  he  downward  falls ; 

Depressing  death  our  heavy  Bodyes  calls 

To  his  low  caves :  no  soule  can  pierce  the  skyes, 

But  first  the  ffleshe  must  sincke  wth  hope  to  ryse. 

See  here  the  Trophees  of  that  rig'rous  hand 

Whose  force  no  wordlie  [sic]  mixture  cann  withstand : 

ffor  yt  united  Elements  devids 

And  parts  their  frendly  league  to  diff  rent  sides. 

In  this  most  dolefull  picture  wee  display 

The  gen'rall  ruine  on  the  iudgment  day. 

Thrice  happy  they  whom  that  last  hower  shall  fynd

With  pious  Counsells  and  their  eyes  with  Teares ;

And  heav'nly  Trumpett  when  the  chamber  fell. 
And  that  the  preacher's  wordes  might  more  prevaile 
When  he  describes  this  Life  unsure  and  frayle

In  Mr.  Dyce's  copy  of  the  poems  preserved  in  the  South  Kensington 
Museum,  and  also  in  the  Grenville  copy  in  the  British  Museum,  the  miss- 
ing leaf  is  supplied  with  a  reprinted  leaf  containing  two  poems  which  are 
given  below.  It  is  not  known  by  whom  or  when  this  substituted  leaf 
was  printed,  but  that  the  poems  are  not  the  same  as  those  originally 
cancelled  is  proved  by  the  fact  that  the  initial  letters  of  the  lines  do  not 
agree  with  those  found  in  some  copies  of  the  book.

Another  Noble  gone  !    what  art  thou  Death 

That  puts  a  stoppe  to  eache  heroic  breath  ? 

Art  thou  an  enemie  to  all  that's  great  ? 

Doe  godlike  actions  still  provoke  thy  hate  ? 

Must  the  best  blood  then  of  the  Sister  Land 

Still  feel  the  uengeance  of  thy  tyrant  hand  ? 

I  bid  thee  stoppe  in  this  thy  bold  careere, 

We  have  a  Souereigne  of  that  Land  now  here  ; 

Who  reigns  so  noble  in  his  peoples  loue, 

He  still  must  waite  before  he  goes  aboue. 

A  loyal  subiect  bids  you  to  forbear, 

Go  where  you  will  or  chuse  you  come  not  there. 

I'll  say  no  more,  it  goes  to  eu'ry  heart 

When  even  Kings  are  forc'd  from  Friends  to  part.

Each  canto  of  the  poem  contains  one  hundred  stanzas,  and  begins 
with  an  "  Argument "  either  in  Latin  or  English  verse,  or  both,  and  ends 
with  a  stanza  of  Latin.  Canto  IX  is  written  in  two-line  stanzas,  while 
all  the  others  are  in  three-line  stanzas.  Cantos  X  and  XI  have  the  title 
"The  vanitie  of  the  world  "  in  addition  to  the  titles  given  above.  Canto 
XII  has,  as  an  additional  title,  "  The  sweetnesse  of  retirement,  or  the  hap- 
pinesse  of  a  private  life",  which  is  shortened  in  Canto  XIII  to  "The 
pleasure  of  retirement". 

A  prominent  feature  of  "  Theophila "  is  the  engraved  plates  with 
which  it  is  profusely  illustrated,  and  hardly  two  copies  of  the  book  are 
known  containing  exactly  the  same  number  of  plates.  It  has  been  sup- 
posed that  many  copies  were  used  by  the  author  for  presentation  to  his 
friends,  and  that  in  such  copies  he  added  plates  which  do  not  appear  in 
the  ordinary  book-seller's  copies.  '

"  Remarkable,  however,  as  the  volume  may  be  for  its  rarity,  it  is  still 
more  remarkable  as  presenting  in  the  portrait  prefixed  and  in  the  con- 
tents a  most  curious  instance  of  literary  imposition.  The  portrait,  to 
which  so  much  value  is  attached,  is  in  reality  from  the  original  plate 
representing  Christian  Ravis  or  Ravius,  a  native  of  Berlin,  who  was  cele- 
brated for  his  knowledge  of  the  Oriental  languages,  and  coming  to  this 
country  was  much  patronised  and  encouraged  by  Archbishop  Usher. 
This  portrait  was  originally  prefixed  to  his  Discourse  of  the  Oriental 
Tongues  :  together  with  a  general  Grammar  for  the  Hebrew,  Samaritan, 
Chaldee,  Syriac,  Arabic,  and  Ethiopic  Tongues.  London,  1649.  8vo.  It 
is  in  an  oval,  and  represents  him  in  a  cassock  with  flowing  hair,  aet.  32, 
with  ships  in  the  distance,  and  the  inscription,  '  Christianus  Ravius 
Berlinas.'  In  the  present  volume,  where  it  stands  for  Henry  Bold,  the 
inscription  has  been  obliterated,  and  the  plate,  which  is  worn,  has  been 
evidently  retouched.  We  have  the  same  portrait  again  in  a  third  and 
much  more  worn  state  prefixed  to  a  volume  entitled  Divine  Poems  and 
Meditations.  In  two  parts.  Written  by  William  Williams  of  the  County  of 
Cornwall,  Gent.  &c.  London,  1677.  8vo  ;  but  not  belonging  to  the  book. 
It  has  a  fresh  inscription  underneath:  'Vera  Effigies  Guliel :  Williams 
al'  Willisum.  Nat.  Comitat :  Gloc :  Ianu'  27,  1626,  Philosophus  set.  32'; 
and  is  intended  in  this  third  state  to  represent  a  certain  W'illiam  Williams, 
a  native  of  Gloucestershire,  an  astrologer  of  inferior  note,  an  entirely  differ- 
ent person  from  the  author  of  the  Divine  Poems,  who  was  a  native  of  Corn- 
wall, and  is  prefixed  to  his  Occult  Physick,  1660,  nrao.  In  all  the  three 
cases  the  portrait  is  the  same,  and  taken  from  the  same  plate.  We  now 
come  to  the  book  itself,  which  is  remarkable  for  the  same  barefaced 
appropriation  of  the  property  of  others,  the  whole  of  nearly  the  first  fifty 
pages  being  taken  verbatim  from  Poems  Divine  and  Humane,  by  Thomas 
Beedome,  London,  1641  (see  No.  37),  although  not  in  the  exact  order 
in  which  they  occur  in  that  volume  ;  and  some  other  poems,  including  the 
most  meritorious,  are  filched  from  Herrick's  Hesperides.  It  is  probable  that 
most  of  the  rest  of  the  contents  are  taken  from  some  other  collections  of 
poems,  although  we  have  not  been  able  to  identify  them  in  all  cases ;   and

Anne  Bradstreet  was  the  daughter  of  Thomas  Dudley,  governor  of 
Massachusetts.  She  was  married  in  1628,  and  in  1630  came  to  America 
with  her  husband  and  her  father.  Her  poems,  first  published  in  London 
in  the  volume  here  described,  are  among  the  earliest  produced  in  America. 
A  second  edition  was  published  at  Boston  in  1678,  and  a  third  in  1758. 
They  were  edited  and  published,  together  with  her  other  works,  by  John 
Harvard  Ellis,  at  Charlestown,  in  1867.

Haslewood  and  Corser  both  state  that  a  leaf  of  explanation  should 
precede  each  engraved  frontispiece,  although  we  are  unable  to  trace  any 
copy  containing  them.  Haslewood  in  his  introduction  to  an  edition  of 
"  Bainabae  Itinerarium",  published  in  two  volumes  in  1820,  describes 
these  leaves  as  follows :  "  A  leaf  prefixed  to  the  '  Laws  of  Drinking '  is 
often  wanting  in  the  copies  of  that  work  and  therefore  given  here,  it  being 
our  author's  explanation  of  '  The  Device  of  this  Frontispice  to  the 
booke  translated  and  entitled  Jus  Potandi,  or  the  Law  of  Drinking. 
Which  Sculpture  was  addressed  to  his  deserving  Friend  and  Exquisite 
artist,  Mr.  Marshall  .  .  .  '.  The  second  title  is  preceded  by  a  similar 
explanation,  entitled  '  The  Draught  of  this  Frontispice,  addressed  for  the 
Booke  entitled  The  Smoaking  Age  or  the  Life  and  death  of  Tobacco  ...'." 

The  work  is  a  translation  from  the  Latin  of  "  Disputatio  Inauguralis 
Theoretica  Practica  Jus  potandi  breviter  adumbrans,  Oenozythopoli,  ad 
signum  oculorum  rubricolorum  "  published  anonymously  in  the  same

70  Col  Lit  ions  and  Notes 

The  work  is  printed  throughout  in  Latin  and  English  facing  each  other 
oa  opposite  pages.  Each  page  contains  a  single  stanza,  and  is  orna- 
mented with  type  metal  bauds  at  the  head  and  foot. 

The  volume  contains  no  indication  either  of  place  of  publication  or 
date.  The  latter,  however,  is  determined  by  the  fact  of  its  having  been 
licensed  to  John  Haviland,  June  7,  1638.  Nor  does  it  contain  the 
author's  name,  who  was  stated,  in  the  second  and  subsequent  editions,  to 
have  been  one  Barnaby  Harrington.  It  was  not  until  the  edition  of  1818 
that  Joseph  Haslewood  succeeded  from  internal  evidence  in  identifying 
the  author  as  Richard  Brathwaite.

"The  Preface  To  The  Reader",  the  Latin  address  "Editor  Lectori",

print  represents,  with  a  detachable  tail.  The  plate  which  in  the  second 
edition  represented  Barnaby's  departure  from  the  inn  has  been  altered 
by  erasing  the  figures  of  the  host  and  hostess,  and  substituting  the  figure 
of  a  female,  and  is  here  made  to  serve  as  frontispiece  to  Bessy  Bell.

The  text  follows  closely  that  of  the  fifth  edition,  with  some  "occasional 
variations  where  the  English  text  was  supposed  imperfect,  or  too  obscure 
to  be  generally  comprehended".  In  reprinting  the  old  "Preface  to  the 
Reader"  the  editor  stated  that  it  was  from  the  edition  of  1723,  in  apparent 
ignorance  of  the  fact  that  it  first  appeared  in  the  edition  of  17 16. 

The  present  edition  was  issued  in  two  sizes,  small  and  large  paper.

This  edition  contains  the  same  seven  illustrations  as  that  last  described, 
printed  on  the  title  and  signatures  C5,  C7,  E3,  H5,  I2,  and  I3.  The 
illustrations  are  really  printed  on  separate  leaves  and  inset,  but  as  part  of 
the  text  is  printed  on  the  same  leaves  it  has  been  thought  better  to  count 
them  as  part  of  the  signatures  in  which  they  occur. 

The  edition  is  a  reissue  of  the  previous  edition  of  the  same  year,  re- 
vised and  corrected.  The  supplementary  note  to  the  "Advertisement" 
reads  as  follows:  "The  rapid  sale  of  a  considerable  impression  of  this 
Journal  in  the  short  period  of  a  few  weeks,  affords  the  editor  an  oppor- 
tunity of  presenting  a  new  edition,  improved  by  collation  with  the  earlier 
copies",  and  is  dated  September,  1805. 

The  most  noticeable  alteration  is  the  omission  of  the  verses  at  the  end 
"Ad  Philoxenum"  and  the  substitution  of  the  verses  "In  Errata  ".  There 
are  numerous  verbal  alterations  in  the  text,  and  some  of  them,  it  must  be 
confessed,  are  from  a  correct  to  a  wrong  reading.  On  the  whole,  how- 
ever, this  edition  approaches  nearer  to  the  original  than  any  that  had 
previously  appeared.

The  volume  is  illustrated  with  the  seven  plates  engraved  by  Harding 
that  first  appeared  in  the  two  editions  of  1805.  They  all  show  some 
wear  and  are  retouched.  The  emblematic  plate  of  saddle,  whips,  etc., 
has  a  view  of  a  horse-race  engraved  at  the  foot.  The  plates  are  placed 
facing  pages  15,  17,  35,  59,  145,  159,  179. 

The  introduction,  written  by  Joseph  Haslewood,  contains  a  long  bib- 
liographical account  of  all  the  previous  editions  of  "  Barnabees  Journal  ", 
and  a  sketch  of  the  life  of  Richard  Brathwaite,  who  was  here  first  iden- 
tified as  the  author. 

It  is  not  thought  necessary  to  give  detailed  collations  of  any  of  the 
later  editions  of  this  work.  A  short  enumeration  of  the  titles,  with  a  few 
notes,  may  be  of  some  interest.

The  four  illustrations  were  designed  and  executed  in  lithography  by 
Mr.  D.  Dighton. 

In  going  back  to  the  extremely  imperfect  text  of  1778,  the  publishers 
were  probably  governed  by  the  fact  that  the  later  editions  of  1805,  18 18, 
and  1820  contained  copyrighted  matter  which  they  could  not  use.

In  this  edition  Haslewood'a  two  volumes  are  compressed  into  one. 
\  i.  w  notes  arc  added,  intended  to  bring  the  work  down  to  date,  but  no

A    .1  sample  of  the  additional  notes  the  following  may  be  quoted  from 

140:  "  It  was  a  Blight  misconception  on  Haslewood's  part,  that  the 

original  edition  of  the  Journal  was  peculiar  in  form.     It  is,  in  fact,  an 

ordinary  duodecimo,  though  collating  in  eights."     The  editor  does  not

If  the  larger  part  of  the  contents  of  this  volume  was  not  written  as

The  poems  are  chiefly  of  a  satirical  nature.  In  "  The  Honest  Ghost" 
the  author  pretends  that  it  was  written  from  the  Fleet  Prison,  where  he 
was  imprisoned  for  debt.  He  sends  his  spirit  abroad  to  observe  and  re- 
port the  social  and  political  follies  of  the  day.     In  the  "  Age  for  Apes  "

The  quotations  from  Chaucer  are  printed  in  black-letter,  while  the 
comments  are  in  ordinary  roman  type.  In  the  appendix  the  author 
claims  that  he  had  been  urged  by  "  fundry  Perfons  of  Quality  "  to  treat 
the  remaining  tales  of  Chaucer  in  the  same  manner  as  he  had  done 
these  two,  but  that  he  had  been  forced  to  decline  the  task  on  the  ground 
of  his  age.  Some  copies  bear  the  imprint  "  are  to  be  Sold  by  Robert

second  part  one  new  song,  are  added.  One  poem  is  added  to  the 
Ballads,  and  one  to  the  Epistles.  In  the  last  part  of  the  volume  all  after 
p.  325  is  new. 

Among  the  Epistles  one  short  poem  is  omitted  in  this  edition.  It  is 
the  twenty-ninth  of  the  first  edition,  and  as  that  number  is  skipped  in  the 
second  edition  the  omission  was  undoubtedly  accidental.

contributors.  Among  them  were  Sir  Richard  Fanshaw,  Sir  Thomas

volume  ends  with  "  Horace,  his  art  of  poetry ",  translated  by  Ben 
Jonson. 

Note  on  the  Portraits  of  Alexander  Brome 

There  are  four  distinct  portraits  of  Brome,  or  rather  two  portraits,  one 
of  which  is  in  three  states.  The  first  was  engraved  by  A.  Hertocks,  and 
comes  in  the  first  edition  of  the  Poems,  1661.  It  represents  the  head 
and  bust  turned  slightly  to  the  right,  within  an  oval  wreath.  At  the  top 
is  a  ribbon  inscribed  "vera  effiyies  A:  Brome.  1661  ".  On  a  tablet 
below  are  the  words  "  Carmina  Desunt ",  and  at  the  right  of  the  wreath 
"  A :   Hertochs  fecit ". 

The  second  portrait  was  engraved  by  D.  Loggan,  and  appeared  in 
the  second  edition  of  the  Poems  (1664),  and  in  the  Poems  of  Horace 
(1666).     In  its  general  features  it  follows  the  Hertocks  engraving,  but  in

place  of  the  inscription  at  the  top  it  has  a  ribbon  beneath  the  oval,  in- 
bed  "Vera  Effigies  A:  Brome  1664".  In  the  second  state  of  this 
plate  the  parallel  lines  outside  the  wreath  are  cross-hatched;  the  back- 
ground at  the  right  ol  the  head  is  cross-hatched  with  slanting  lines;  and 
the  face  is  retouched,  nearly  all  the  original  lines  being  worn  away. 

The  third  stale  of  the  Loggan  plate  appeared  in  the  third  edition  of 
the  Poems  (1668).  In  it  the  whole  of  the  portrait  inside  the  oval  wreath 
has  been  erased  and  reengraved,  and  the  shelf  on  which  the  wreath 
rests  is  inscribed  "  /Ktatis  sua?  44  ".

The  present  volume  shows  so  many  changes  from  the  one  last  described 
as  to  make  it  doubtful  whether  to  call  it  a  second  edition  of  that,  or  an 
entirely  new  poem.  The  dedications  in  Latin  and  English  to  the  King 
are  replaced  by  that  to  Sir  John  Finch.  The  commendatory  poems  are 
added.  The  work  is  reduced  to  fifty-one  stanzas,  and  the  concluding 
stanza,  "L'Envoy  au  Roy," as  well  as  "The  Hymne  inauguratory  for  his 
Maiestie,"  is  omitted.  The  whole  poem  is  rewritten  and  considerably 
altered.  It  is  not  known  who  is  responsible  for  these  alterations,  but  the 
fact  that  the  death  of  James  I  (1625)  is  alluded  to  in  the  forty-fifth 
stanza  would  conclusively  prove  that  they  were  not  the  work  of  Sir 
George  Buck,  who  died  in  1623.

The  whole  work  consists  of  a  description  of  the  various  fashions,  muti- 
lations, and  monstrosities  that  have  been  cultivated  by  different  races, 
and  it  is  divided  into  twenty-four  chapters  or  "  scenes,"  each  of  which  is 
devoted  to  a  different  portion  of  the  human  body.  The  appendix  gives 
the  origins  of  various  English  fashions.  The  work  is  very  fully  illustrated 
throughout  with  curious  woodcuts  in  the  text.

This  is  the  first  genuine  edition  printed  in  small  octavo.  (Size  of 
printed  matter  on  title  5-^  x  2f  inches.)  The  title-page  has  for  ornament 
the  same  wreath  as  in  the  large  octavo  edition  last  described,  but  in  the 
imprint  the  "Saint"  of  the  large  edition  is  here  abbreviated  to  "St."  in 
order  to  accommodate  the  smaller  page.  The  list  of  errata  given  on  the 
last  page  of  the  large  edition  is  omitted  here  and  the  corrections  made, 
showing  that  this  edition  must  have  succeeded  the  other.  A  facsimile  of 
the  title  is  given.

This  is  the  first  genuine  edition  printed  in  twelves.  In  every  other 
respect  it  is  exactly  like  the  small  octavo  edition  last  described. 

A  variation  of  this  edition  has  the  imprimatur  printed  on  the  verso 
of  the  title,  leaving  Sig.  Ai  a  blank  leaf;  although  a  close  paginary 
reprint,  a  number  of  minor  changes  indicate  clearly  that  the  same  sheets 
were  not  used  with  a  new  title-page,  but  that  the  type  was  reset,  thus 
making  it  a  distinct  edition.

There  is  still  another  spurious  edition  of  the  first  part,  the  collation  of 
which  is  exactly  the  same  as  the  second  issue  of  the  one  described  above. 
The  title-pages,  however,  are  entirely  different,  and  for  the  purpose  of 
comparison  facsimiles  of  both  are  given.  This  third  spurious  edition 
may  be  further  distinguished  by  the  frequent  use  of  the  italic  k  in  place 
of  the  Roman  letter.

The  second  part  of  Hudibras  was  issued  in  only  two  forms  —  large  oc- 
tavo and  small  octavo.  The  present  is  the  large  octavo  and  presumably 
the  first  to  be  issued.  The  printed  matter  of  the  title  measures  sHx  3I 
inches,  and  further  than  that  differs  only  in  the  lining  off  from  the  small 
octavo,  a  facsimile  of  which  is  given.

The  present  is  the  first  issue  of  the  so-called  "Posthumous  Works"  of 
Samuel  Butler.     It  went  through  many  editions  between  1715  and  1754. 


i2S  Collations  and  Notes 

and  numerous  additions  were  made  to  the  contents,  but  there  is  no  evi- 
dent <•  th.it  any  of  the  pieces  were  written  by  Butler,  with  the  exception 
of  the  "  Pindaric  ode  to  the  happy  memory  of  the  most  renowned  Du 
\  al",  which  had  already  been  published  separately  in  quarto,  1671. 

After  Butler's  death  his  papers  were  preserved  by  William  Longueville, 
who  bequeathed  them  to  his  son  Charles,  from  whom  they  came  into  the 
possession  of  John  Clarke  of  Wolgherton  in  Cheshire.  In  1754  they 
were  examined  by  R.  Thyer,  Keeper  of  the  Public  Library  in  Man- 
chester, who,  in  1759,  published  the  collection  described  in  the  following 
number.

This  same  work  was  reissued  in  167 1,  using  the  same  sheets,  with 
a  new  title,  which  differs  only  from  that  given  above  in  the  imprint, 
which  is  as  follows:  "  London,  |  Printed  for  H.  Herringman  at  the  Blew 
Anchor  |  in  the  Lower  Walk  of  the  New  Exchange,  |  and  are  to  be  fold

New  Exchange,  167 1."  No  further  edition  appeared  until  1772.  In 
the  present  century  several  editions  have  been  published,  the  most  note- 
worthy being  Thomas  Maitland's  edition  of  Edinburgh,  1824,  that  edited 
by  W.  Carew  Hazlitt  in  1870,  and  that  edited  by  J.  W.  Ebsworth  for  the 
"  Library  of  Old  Authors  "  in  1893.  The  latter  is  nearly  all  that  a  mod- 
ern edition  of  an  old  English  poet  should  be,  though  the  bibliography, 
which  the  editor  has  added,  is  marred  by  several  inaccuracies  that  de- 
tract considerably  from  its  value.

affairs,  how  she  came  to  write  the  book,  etc.  The  volume  concludes 
with  two  poems,  in  the  second  of  which  she  states  that  this  work  is  her 
own  favorite  of  all  she  had  written. 
A    second  edition  was  published  in  167 1.

The  volume  is  edited  by  Isaac  Walton,  whose  preface  is  dated  May  7 , 
1678.  So  little  is  known  of  the  reputed  author  John  Chalkhill  that  he 
has  been  supposed  by  some  writers  to  be  a  myth,  and  that  the  poem  was 
Walton's  own.  If  such  a  poet  as  Chalkhill  ever  actually  existed,  Walton 
is  apparently  the  only  one  who  ever  knew  him.  In  his  "  Compleat 
Angler,"  1653,  he  printed  two  songs, —  "O,  the  sweet  contentment"  and 
"O,  the  gallant  fisher's  life,"— signed  "  Io.  Chalkill." 

An  edition  of  "Thealma  and  Clearchus  "  edited  by  Samuel  W.  Singer 
was  issued  by  the  Chiswick  Press  in  1820.

The  volume  is  practically  divided  into  two  parts  between  the  third  and 
fourth  books.  Each  part  is  paged  separately  besides  having  a  separate 
set  of  signatures,  and  the  lines  are  spaced  wider  in  the  second  part  than 
in  the  first,  giving  the  page  a  more  open  appearance.  It  has  been  con- 
jectured that  the  printing  of  the  volume  was  interrupted  by  the  author's 
employment  in  the  civil  wars. 

In  1820  an  edition  of  the  poem,  with  a  play,  was  published  in  three 
volumes.

Bibliographers  have  heretofore  described  only  one  edition  of  this  work, 
but  there  exist  two.  One  is  described  above.  The  title  of  the  second 
is  exactly  the  same  as  that  of  the  first,  even  to  the  type-metal  border. 
At  the  head  of  Sig.  A2  recto  the  second  edition  has  a  broad  ornamental 
band  in  place  of  the  narrow  band  of  the  first  edition.  The  type  page  in 
the  second  is  smaller  than  in  the  first,  with  the  result  that  the  volume 
contains  one  additional  leaf,  signed  Bi.  There  seems  to  be  no  way  of 
determining  which  of  the  two  editions  was  the  earlier.

This  first  edition  of  Cleveland's  poems  contains  seventeen  poems  in 
addition  to  the  prose  piece  from  which  it  takes  its  title. 

There  were  at  least  five  editions  of  this  work  published  during  this  year, 
1647.  A  second  edition,  having  the  same  title  and  contents  and  collating 
the  same  as  that  described  above,  can  be  identified  only  by  a  close  com- 
parison ;  it  is,  however,  a  distinct  edition,  entirely  reprinted  throughout. 
A  point  of  difference  that  will  serve  readily  to  distinguish  them  is  that  in 
one  edition  the  recurring  title,  "The  Character  of  a  London-Diurnall", 
on  page  7,  is  omitted,  apparently  through  an  oversight,  the  space  be- 
ing occupied  only  by  the  figure  "(7)";  in  the  other  the  running  title 
is  printed  in  full  as  usual. 

There  seems  to  be  no  way  of  determining  which  of  these  two  editions 
was  the  earlier.

Cleveland,  with  his  answers. 

Lowndes's  description  of  the  two  editions  published  in  this  year  is  ex- 
tremely misleading.  He  says  of  one  that  it  has  two  portraits  and  con- 
sists of  78  leaves  in  addition  to  the  title.  Neither  of  the  editions

Montrose,  which  from  this  time  continued  to  be  included  in  every  edi-

appears  here  for  the  first  time. 

It  is  stated  in  Lowndes's  Manual  that  the  edition  of  1653  is  only  the 
edition  of  165 1  with  a  new  title.  It  will  be  seen  that  neither  of  the  two 
editions  of  1653  described  above  agrees  with  the  description  of  Lowndes.

In  many  respects  this  is  the  most  interesting  of  all  the  early  editions  of

with  a  single  poem,  "A  Sigh  ",  as  described  above.  Of  these  thirty-four 
additional  poems,  thirty  are  transferred  bodily  from  Robert  Fletcher's

The  five  editions  of  1661,  1662,  1665,  1666,  and  1669  contain  ex- 
actly the  same  matter  as  that  of  1659,  without  addition  or  subtraction. 
Issued  by  the  same  publisher,  they  resemble  each  other  in  many  particu- 
lars, though  they  are  distinctly  separate  impressions.  The  resemblance 
between  the  editions  of  1665  and  1669  is  especially  close.  The  type  is 
the  same  in  each,  and  some  of  the  errors  of  one  are  repeated  in  the 
other.  Thus  pp.  122-3  are  misnumbered  120-1  in  each;  on  p.  118,  in 
the  title  of  the  poem,  "An  old  man  courting  a  young  girl,"  the  word 
"  young  "  is  spelled  "  yuong  "  in  each.  Other  errors  are  corrected,  how- 
ever, in  the  later  edition,  which  shows  conclusively  that  the  two  are 
entirely  distinct  and  separate.

This  volume  begins  a  new  series  of  Cleveland,  which  continued,  for  a 
few  years,  to  be  published  concurrently  with  the  regular  editions  of  his 
works,  and  was  finally  incorporated  in  the  edition  of  1687.  The  editor 
of  the  collection,  E.  Williamson,  in  his  epistle  "to  the  discerning  reader" 
claims  to  have  been  a  friend  of  the  poet,  from  whom  he  received  the 
manuscripts  which  he  here  publishes.  In  his  words  Cleveland  stated  to 
him  that  "moll  of  his  former  printed  Poems  were  truly  his  own,  except 
fuch  as  have  been  lately  added,  to  make  up  the  Volume."    This  can  hardly

refer  to  the  borrowings  from  Fletcher,  which  appeared  the  same  year  as 
the  present  publication,  since  Cleveland  died  the  previous  year.  The 
editor  admits,  both  on  the  title  and  in  his  epistle,  that  he  has  in- 
cluded some  pieces  by  authors  other  than  Cleveland.  The  collection 
contains  thirty-six  pieces  in  all.  Among  them  is  a  Latin  version  of 
"The  Rebel  Scot",  the  original  of  which  had  always  been  included  among 
Cleveland's  poems.  Four  different  elegies  on  Ben  Jonson  are  taken  from 
"Jonsonus  Virbius",  a  collection  of  elegies  on  Jonson,  which  was  pub- 
lished after  his  death  in  1638.  In  that  volume  only  one  of  them,  that 
beginning  "Who  first  reform'd  our  stage  with  justest  laws",  is  credited  to 
Cleveland  ;  of  the  other  three,  one  is  by  Richard  West  ("  Poet  of  Princes, 
Prince  of  Poets",  etc.),  one  is  signed  by  Jasper  Mayne  ("As  when  the 
Vestal  hearth  went  out"),  and  one  is  anonymous. 

"An  entertainment  at  Cotswold"  (p.  38)  is  by  William  Durham,  and 
was  first  published  in  Captain  Robert  Dover's  "  Annalia  Dubrensia",  1638. 

Eleven  pieces  are  taken  from  the  Poems  of  John  Hall  (Cambridge, 
1646),  viz.,  "Upon  a  talkative  woman"  (p.  2),  "On  an  ugly  woman" 
(p.  9),  "On  a  little  Gentlewoman  profoundly  learned"  (p.  12),  "On  Par- 
sons the  great  Porter"  (p.  15),  "To  Chloris  a  Rapture"  (p.  18),  "Upon 
Wood  of  Kent"  (p.  26),  "To  his  Mistresse"  (p.  48),  "On  one  that  was 
deprived  of  his  Testicles"  (p.  56),  "The  Flight"  (p.  61),  "On  a 
Burning-glasse"  (p.  78),  and  "Not  to  Travel"  (p.  81).  In  each  case  the 
title  has  been  altered. 

It  is  probable  that  a  close  comparison  with  the  miscellaneous  verse  of 
the  period  would  disclose  other  borrowings.

To  this  second  edition  of  the  volume  last  described  twenty-six  new 
poems  are  added.  It  also  includes  one  additional  Latin  oration  with  a

Scot  "  appears  along  with  the  Latin,  and  the  volume  concludes  with  an 
epitaph  on  Cleveland  by  William  Winstanley.  The  additional  poems 
are  mainly  of  a  political  character,  and  it  is  more  than  probable  that  none 
of  them  are  by  Cleveland.

This  edition  of  Cleveland's  works  was  issued  with  at  least  three  dis- 
tinct title-pages.    The  other  two,  as  they  differ  materially,  are  given  in  full : 

(1)  Clievelandi  Vindiciae;  |  Or,  |  Clieveland's  |  Genuine  Poems,  | 
Orations,  Epiftles,  &c.  |  Purged  from  the  many  |  Falfe  &  Spurious  Ones  |

This  is  probably  the  most  correct  of  all  the  editions  of  Cleveland. 
The  two  editors  whose  initials  are  signed  to  the  Epistle  Dedicatory  are 
John  Lake,  Bishop  of  Man,  Bristol,  and  Chichester,  and  S.  Drake,  Vicar 
of  Pontefract. 

The  volume  contains  only  thirty  poems  in  all.  The  additional 
poems  taken  from  Fletcher  in  1659  are  dropped,  as  well  as  twelve  of 
the  old  ones  which  had   always  been  included  in  Cleveland's   works. 


164  Collations  and  Notes 

Four  new  poems  are  inserted  and  the  Latin  and  English  versions  of 
"The  Rebel  Scot"  are  printed  together. 

The  additions  to  the  prose  works  are  quite  considerable,  and  make 
up  for  what  has  been  taken  from  the  poetry.  A  short  summary  of  all 
the  prose  works  may  not  prove  uninteresting  : 

The  Character  of  a  Country-Committee-man,  &c. 

The  Character  of  a  Diurnal-maker. 

The  Character  of  a  London-Diurnal. 

To  the  Protector  after  a  long  and  vile  Durance  in  Prison. 

To  the  Earl  of  Westmoreland. 

Letter  to  a  Friend  disswading  him  from  his  attempt  to  marry  a  Nun. 

Two  letters  from  a  Parliament  Officer  at  Grantham  to  Mr.  Cleveland 
in  Newark. 

All  of  the  above  had  already  appeared  in  the  earlier  editions.  The 
following,  with  such  exceptions  as  are  noted  below,  were  now  published 
for  the  first  time  : 

An  answer  to  a  Pamphlet  written  against  the  Lord  Digby's  speech, 
concerning  the  death  of  the  Earl  of  Strafford. 

To  the  Earl  of  Newcastle. 

To  the  Earl  of  Holland. 

Piece  of  Common  place  upon  Romans  the  4th.     Last  verse. 

The  answer  to  the  Newark  Summons. 

Eleven  orations  and  twelve  epistles  in  Latin. 

Eight  of  these  last  had  already  appeared  in  the  various  editions  of 
"J.  Cleaveland  Revived"  together  with  English  translations.  The 
editors  of  the  volume  under  review  speak  of  this  in  the  following  words : 
"  We  know  you  have  not  without  passionate  resentments  beheld  the 
prostitution  or  his  name  in  some  late  Editions  vended  under  it,  wherein 
his  Orations  are  murthered  over  and  over  in  barbarous  Latine,  and  a 
more  barbarous  Translation." 

The  portrait  prefixed  to  the  volume,  though  unsigned,  was  attributed 
by  Vertue  to  Robert  White,  and  is  doubtless  the  work  of  his  hands.  It 
bears  the  inscription,  "Vera  Effigies  Iohannis  Cleaveland  Printed  for 
Nat :  Brooke  at  the  Angel  in  Cornhill."

The  unsold  copies  of  this  edition  were  reissued  in  1699  with  a  new 
title  as  follows: 

The  I  Works  |  Of  |  Mr.  John  Cleveland,  |  Containing  his  |  Poems, 
Orations  and  Epiftles :  |  Also,  |  The  Rustick  Rampant,  |  Or,  |  Rural  An-

This  is  the  edition  which  generally  appears  in  booksellers'  catalogues 
as  the  "  best  ",  following  the  lead  of  Lowndes.  He  probably  called  it 
so  because  it  was  the  largest.  It  has  no  other  merit.  The  bookseller 
who  was  responsible  for  it  gathered  together  nearly  everything  that  had 
ever  appeared  under  Cleveland's  name,  and  so  great  was  his  anxiety  to 
omit  nothing  that  he  inserted  one  poem,  that  on  Prince  Rupert,  twice. 
The  first  part  of  the  volume  is  a  literal  reprint  of  the  edition  of  1677, 


ii.o  Collations  and  Notes 

last  described.  The  second  part,  under  the  title  of  "John  Cleaveland's 
Revived  Poems",  includes  all  the  poems  which  had  been  omitted  from 
the  1677  edition,  the  poems  borrowed  from  Fletcher,  and  all  the  poems 
which  had  appeared  in  the  four  editions  of  "  J.  Cleaveland  Revived". 
In  the  midst  of  them  are  inserted  "An  Elegy  upon  Mr.  John  Cleveland" 
and  lines  "Upon  the  pittiful  Elegy  writ  lately  on  him",  which  made 
their  first  appearance  together  with  the  Fletcher  poems,  "An  Elegy  in 
Memory  of  Mr.  John  Cleveland  ",  by  William  Winstanley,  which  came 
from  "J.  Cleaveland  Revived  ",  and  "  An  Elegy,  offered  to  the  Memory  of 
that  Incomparable  Son  of  Apollo,  Mr.  John  Cleveland  ",  by  J.  M.,  "An 
Elegy  on  Mr.  Cleveland,  and  his  verses  on  Smectymnuus  ",  and  "The 
Elegy  made  upon  Mr.  John  Cleveland's  Death  cry'd  i'th  Streets,  hebeeing 
then  in  good  Disposition  of  Health  ",  by  J.  Parry.  The  last  three  are 
apparently  published  here  for  the  first  time. 

The  volume  concludes  with  a  reprint  of  "The  Rustic  Rampant  ",  which 
first  appeared  anonymously  in  1654. 

The  portrait  prefixed  to  the  volume  is  the  engraving  by  White,  with 
the  bookseller's  imprint  erased. 

Note  on  the  Portraits  of  Cleveland 
Beginning  with  1653,  it  is  probable  that  nearly  if  not  quite  all  the 
editions  of  Cleveland's  Poems  should  contain  a  portrait  of  the  author ; 
but  as  none  of  his  portraits  are  signed  by  the  engraver,  it  is  difficult  to 
distinguish  them  sufficiently  to  indicate  to  which  edition  each  portrait 
belongs,  a  difficulty  that  is  not  diminished  by  the  frequent  habit  of  mod- 
ern booksellers  of  completing  a  defective  copy  with  the  first  portrait  that 
comes  to  hand. 

The  earliest  portrait  that  we  have  noted  represents  him  turned  slightly 
to  the  right,  in  clerical  (or  academic)  dress,  with  long  flowing  hair,  hold- 
ing a  book  in  his  right  hand.  The  portrait  is  within  a  floriated  oval 
with  a  heavy  scroll  at  the  foot,  and  the  following  inscription  beneath : 
"  Vera  et  viva  Effigies  Iohannis  Cleeveland  "  (dimensions  2  j-|  x  5^ 
inches).  This  plate  and  copies  of  it  were  used  in  many  editions.  One 
copy  (2fx  5  inches)  may  be  distinguished  by  the  embroidered  instead  of 
plain  band  crossing  the  breast,  and  by  the  ornamental  binding  of  the 
book.  Both  of  these  plates  are  very  coarsely  engraved.  Another  copy, 
much  better  engraved,  has  the  name  spelled  "  Cleaueland  "  (2^x37 
inches). 

The  four  editions  of  "  J.  Cleaveland  Revived  "  contain  a  new  portrait, 
a  laureated  bust  on  a  pedestal  inscribed,  "  Vera  Effigies  J  :  Cleaulandi  "  ; 
at  the  foot  is  the  following  inscription :

The  best  engraved  of  all  the  portraits  is  that  prefixed  to  "  Clievelandi 
Vindiciae  ",  1677.  It  is  unsigned,  but  is  probably  the  work  of  Robert 
White,  and  is  ascribed  to  him  by  Vertue.  The  likeness  is  undoubtedly 
copied  from  the  earlier  portraits.  The  same  plate  was  used  in  the 
"Works"  of  1687,  with  the  bookseller's  imprint  erased,  as  was  noted  in 
the  description  of  that  edition.

This  first  edition  of  Dr.  Corbet's  Poems  was  published  twelve  years  after 
the  author's  death.  It  was  probably  intended  at  first  to  end  the  volume 
at  Sig.  E3,  and  some  copies  lack  the  last  two  signatures,  the  first  of 
which  evidently  should  be  F  instead  of  A.  Two  poems  in  the  first  part 
of  the  volume  are  repeated  in  the  second  part;  viz.,  "Upon  Miftris 
Mallet"  (p.  26)  appears  again  on  p.  56  under  the  title  "Upon  an  un- 
handfome  Gentlewoman  Who  made  Love  unto  him";  and  "A  Reply" 
(p.  52)  is  reprinted  on  p.  70  as  "In  Poetam  Ex  Auctoratum  &  Emeritum." 
The  collection  contains  thirty-six  separate  poems,  exclusive  of  the  dupli- 
cates.

The  title  as  quoted  above  is  an  almost  sufficient  description  of  the 
contents  of  this  curious  medley.  The  volume  begins  with  a  series  of 
"  Pleafant  and  Witty  Dialogues".  Then  comes  "A  Labyrinth  of  Fan- 
cies ",  consisting  of  "  Pretty  Conceits  ",  tricks  of  legerdemain,  etc.  These 
are  followed  by  "  Several  Love-Songs,  Drollery,  and  other  Verfes  ",  and 
by  "  Epigrams  and  Epitaphs",  poems  on  drinking,  lists  of  famous  Greek 
and  Roman  drinkers,  and  descriptions  of  divination,  geometry,  dials, 
and  some  other  subjects.  Then  come  descriptions  of  certain  games, 
which  are  followed  by  "The  Perfect  Inditer:  Or  Letters  A  la  Mode", 
a  sort  of  complete  letter-writer.  These  in  turn  are  followed  by  "  Com- 
plements A  la  Mode  ",  and  a  list  of  some  of  the  Greek  and  Latin  gods 
and  goddesses.  The  volume  concludes  with  a  description  and  explana- 
tion of  several  ciphers,  including  that  of  Cardinal  Richelieu.  A  second 
edition  had  appeared  in  1662.

The  collation  of  this  third  edition  is  exactly  the  same  as  that  of  the

Thus  the  leaf  that  is  printed  k6  is  actu-

The  two  parts  described  above  were  printed  for  different  publishers 
and  have  separate  signatures,  but  in  other  respects  they  are  nearly  uni- 
form.    They  are  sometimes  bound  separately. 

All  the  titles  in  the  second  part,  with  one  exception,  bear  a  printer's 
device,  two  hands  holding  a  caduceus  between  two  horns  of  plenty 
surmounted  by  Pegasus,  which  was  originally  the  device  of  Andre 
Wechel,  a  Paris  printer  of  the  sixteenth  century.  The  device  on  the 
title  to  "Piramus  and  Thisbe  ",  Apollo  driving  the  chariot  of  the  sun, 
was  doubtless  also  borrowed.

Although  this  is  called  the  second  edition  on  the  title,  it  is  in  reality  the 
third  edition  of  "  Steps  to  the  Temple",  being  preceded  by  the  editions 
of  1646  and  1648.  This  edition  sometimes  is  found  with  another  title 
which  reads  as  follows  : 

Steps  I  To  The  |  Temple,  |  The  |  Delights  |  Of  The  |  Muses,  |  And  | 
Carmen  |  Deo  Nostro  |  By  Ric.  Crafhaw,  fometimes  Fellow  of  Pern-  | 
broek  Hall,  and  Fellow  of  St.  Peters  Colledge  in  |  Cambridge.  |  The 
Third  Edition.  |  London,  |  Printed  for  Richard  Bently,  Jacob  Tonfon,  \ 
Francis  Saunders,  and  Tho.  Befinet. 

The  body  of  the  work  consists  of  the  same  sheets  and  is  identically  the 
same. 

This,  the  last  of  the  early  editions  of  Crashaw,  is,  critically  speaking, 
worthless.  All  of  the  Latin  poems,  as  well  as  several  of  the  English,  are 
omitted,  and  two  poems  are  inserted  twice  under  different  titles.  Thus 
"  Death's  lecture,  the  funeral  of  a  young  gentleman  "  (p.  206)  had  already 
been  printed  on  p.  96  under  the  title  "  Upon  Mr.  Stanninough's  death", 
and  the  lines  "  In  praise  of  Lessius,  his  rule  of  health"  (p.  108)  are  re- 
peated on  p.  207  under  the  title  "Temperance,  or  the  cheap  Physitian 
upon  the  translation  of  Lessius  ".  This  second  version  contains  eight 
more  lines  than  the  first.  The  compiler  of  the  1670  edition  evidently 
had  the  editions  of  1646  and  1648  before  him,  as  they  show  the  same 
variation  in  these  two  titles,  and  the  second  edition  has  the  addition  of 
the  eight  lines  to  the  second  poem.

The  assertion  made  in  one  of  the  prefatory  poems  of  this  volume  that 
the  "  pictures  in  the  following  Poemes  .  .  .  the  Author  firfl  made  with 
his  owne  hand  "  cannot  be  taken  literally.  Four  of  them  (Nos.  6,  7,  10. 
and  12)  bear  the  name  of  I.  Messager  as  engraver,  and  a  fifth  (No.  3)  is 
signed  with  the  initials  of  Goltzius.  Out  of  the  whole  number  there  are 
only  four  (Nos.  1,  2,  8,  and  1 1)  that  may  perhaps  be  assigned  to  Crashaw. 
It  is  very  probable  that,  excepting  those  four,  none  of  the  plates  were  origi- 
nally engraved  for  this  volume,  but  that  they  had  already  appeared  in 
other  publications  and  formed  a  part  of  the  stock  of  the  Paris  printing- 
office.  In  some  copies  of  the  present  volume  a  curious  variation  occurs 
in  the  plate  on  Sig.  K4  recto  (No.  10).  Instead  of  the  plate  as  de- 
scribed engraved  by  Messager  representing  the  Virgin  holding  the  infant 
Christ  in  her  arms,  while  two  angels  are  holding  a  crown  surmounted

with  the  dove  over  her  head,  there  is  substituted  a  plate  representing  the 
Virgin,  with  crossed  arms,  bending  over  an  elaborately  embroidered 
couch,  on  which  the  Infant  Christ  is  lying. 

The  collection  is,  properly  speaking,  a  selection  from  "Steps  to  the 
Temple",  1646  and  1648,  with  a  few  new  poems  added.  It  contains 
thirty-nine  separate  pieces,  of  which  the  following  appear  here  for  the 
first  time :  "  Crashawe,  the  anagrame.  He  was  Car ",  "  An  epigram 
upon  the  pictures  in  the  following  poems  ",  by  Thomas  Car,  dedication 
to  the  Countess  of  Denbigh,  "  New  Year's  day ",  "  The  office  of  the 
holy  cross ",  "  O  Gloriosa  Domina ",  "  St.  Mary  Magdalene,  or,  the 
weeper." 

Copies  occur  with  title  dated  1674,  and  with  the  following  line 
added :  "  Proftant  Venales  apud  Joann.  Creed."

Lord  Cutts  was  more  distinguished  as  a  soldier  than  as  a  poet.  He 
served  in  the  wars  of  William  and  Mary,  and  Queen  Anne,  and  attained 
the  rank  of  lieutenant-general.  At  one  time  Richard  Steele  was  his 
private  secretary.  Steele  dedicated  to  him  his  "  Christian  Hero  ",  and 
published  in  the  fifth  volume  of  the  "  Tatler"  some  of  Cutts's  poems  as  the 
productions  of  "  Honest  Cynthio  ".

Bibliographers  usually  ascribe  this  work  to  Robert  Dixon,  dean  of 
Rochester,  who  died  in  1688.     Corser  says  : 

"Although  we  have  followed  the  usual  current  of  opinion  .  .  .  we 
confess  that,  judging  from  the  general  style,  subject  and  language  of  its 
contents,  we  are  not  without  considerable  doubt  of  his  being  the  author, 
because  it  is  so  utterly  at  variance  with  his  acknowledged  writings."

This  edition  was  prepared  by  John  Donne  the  younger,  who  signed 
the  dedication.  The  "  Characters  "  and  the  "  Epigrams  "  appear  here 
for  the  first  time.  The  "Paradoxes"  and  "Problemes"  had  already 
been  published  in  two  editions  in  1633,  under  the  title  "  Juvenilia  Or  Cer- 
taine  Paradoxes  And  Problemes"  (see  No.  284).  To  the  present  (third) 
edition  one  new  "  Paradox  "  and  seven  new  "Problemes"  arc  added. 
making  in  all  twelve  and  seventeen  respectively. 

"  Ignatius  his  Conclave  "  was  first  published  in  161 1,  concurrently  with 
an  edition  in  Latin.  The  English  version  was  reissued  with  a  new  title  in 
1626,  and  republished  in  1634.  The  assertion,  therefore,  on  the  title, 
that  the  work  is  "  tranllated  out  of  the  originall  copy  written  in  Latin  by 
the  fame  Author ;  found  lately  amongft  his  own  papers  ",  is  false.

First  published  in  1659  as  "A  Poem  Upon  The  Death  Of  His  Late 
Highnefs,  Oliver,  Lord  Protector  Of  England  ",  etc.  (see  No.  303),  it  was 
also  printed  in  the  same  year  in  connection  with  poems  upon  the  same 
subject  by  Waller  and  Sprat,  and  again,  both  collectively  and  individ- 
ually, in  1682  (see  Nos.  328,  329,  and  304).  This  is  therefore  the  fifth 
appearance  of  Dryden's  poem  in  print.

The  controversy  with  Sir  Robert  Howard,  to  which  the  present  volume 
was  Dryden's  principal  contribution,  was  begun  by  Dryden  in  the 
preface  to  his  "Rival  Ladies",  1664.  That  was  answered  by  Howard 
in  the  preface  to  his  own  Plays,  1665.  The  controversy  was  continued 
by  both  authors  in  the  prefaces  to  their  respective  plays.

There  were  two  issues  of  the  above  work  this  year,  so  similar  in  all 
respects  as  to  be  easily  confounded  with  each  other  except  on  a  close 
examination ;  the  easiest  method  of  identification  is  on  the  title,  where 
the  word  "  Fleet-Street "  in  the  imprint  as  given  above  is  printed 
"  Fleetstreet  "  in  the  other  issue ;  changes  in  certain  letters  of  the  text 
of  the  work,  especially  in  the  use  of  the  double  "  V  "  for  the  "  W  ",  in- 
dicate that  it  was  partially  if  not  wholly  reprinted.  There  is  no  evidence 
as  to  which  is  the  earlier  of  the  two  issues. 

The  larger  part  of  this  poem  was  written  by  Tate ;  Dryden  contrib- 
uted about  two  hundred  lines,  beginning  on  p.  10,  "  Next  thefe,  a  Troop 
of  buify  Spirits  prefs",  and  ending  on  p.  16,  "  To  talk  like  Doeg,  and  to 
Write  like  Thee".  It  was  published  in  October,  1682,  and  marks  the 
closing  on  Dryden's  part  of  the  controversy  with  Shadwell,  Settle,  and 
others.

In  order  of  publication  this  is  the  second  of  Dryden's  political  satires. 
It  was  occasioned  by  the  striking  of  a  medal  inscribed  "Laetamur"  on 
the  failure  of  the  prosecution  against  Shaftesbury.  Dryden's  satire 
called  forth  several  answers,  among  which  are  the  anonymous  "  Satire 
to  his  Muse  "  and  the  "  Medal  of  John  Bayes  ",  by  Thomas  Shadwell. 
Shadwell  was  answered  by  Dryden  in  "  Mac  Flecknoe  ",  described  in 
the  following  number.

Dryden,  in  cooperation  with  Nathaniel  Lee,  had  written  a  play  called 
"  The  Duke  of  Guise  ",  which  gave  rise  to  the  story  that  he  had  intended 
a  parallel  to  the  contest  of  the  court  against  Shaftesbury  and  Mon- 
mouth.    The  present  work  is  in  answer  to  that  charge.

to  the  frontispiece,  engraved  by  Hollar,  Lombart,  and  Faithorne.  One 
is  placed  at  the  beginning  of  each  of  the  ten  Pastorals,  twenty  are  given  to 
the  Georgics,  and  seventy-one  to  the  y£neis.  These  plates  were  origi- 
nally engraved  for  and  appeared  in  Ogilby's  translation  of  Virgil,  1654 
(reprinted  1658).  In  the  present  volume  each  plate  is  inscribed  at  the 
foot  to  a  separate  patron,  and  a  list  of  these  patrons  occurs  among  the 
preliminary  leaves.  Among  them  are  the  names  of  Prince  George  of 
Denmark,  Princess  Anne  of  Denmark,  the  Hon.  Mr.  Ch.  Mountague 
(Earl  of  Halifax),  Henry  St.  John  (Lord  Bolingbroke),  Sir  Godfrey 
Kneller,  and  others. 

An  article  by  Professor  G.  R.  Noyes  of  the  University  of  California, 
which  appeared  in  "Modern  Language  Notes"  for  May,  1904,  under  the 


Collations  and  Notes  261 

title,  "  An  unnoticed  edition  of  Dryden's  'Virgil'",  furnishes  us  with  the 
valuable  information  that  there  were  two  editions  of  the  "Virgil"  in  the 
same  year,  with  identical  title-pages.  One,  the  earlier,  was  "  printed  on 
stout  paper  with  wide  margin  (size  of  leaf  17^  x  u  inches),  the  other 
.  .  .  on  thinner  paper,  with  narrow  margin  (size  of  leaf  13^x9).  ..  .  In 
the  large  paper  folio  the  prose  prefaces  and  dedications  are  left  unnum- 
bered, while  in  the  smaller  they  are  paged  continuously  with  the  poems. .  .  . 
The  page  of  errata  in  the  larger  book  is  here  [in  the  smaller]  omitted  and 
its  directions  are  embodied  in  the  text." 

From  these  facts  Professor  Noyes  draws  the  conclusion  that  the 
smaller  book  is  the  second  edition,  which,  according  to  Malone,  was  pub- 
lished in  1698.

There  is  some  uncertainty  about  the  date  of  this  work,  Lowndes 
putting  it  in  1691.  From  the  preface  of  "Tales  Tragical  And  Comical", 
1704  (see  No.  339),  it  would  appear  that  that  was  the  earlier  of  the  two 
works.  On  the  other  hand,  "Titus  and  Giffippus"  was  published  sepa- 
rately, according  to  Hazlitt,  about  1704,  whereas,  from  an  allusion  in  the 
advertisement  of  the  "Stories",  its  appearance  in  that  collection  would 
seem  to  be  its  first.  The  make-up  of  the  book  is  poor,  the  running  title 
of  the  first  story  being  irregular,  while  there  are  serious  mistakes  in  the 
pagination,  and  signatures  N1-N4  are  misprinted  E-E4. 

The  following  request  is  added  to  the  "  Advertifement " :  "Since  'tis 
almofl  impoffible  to  hinder  fome  miflakes  in  the  Print,  the  Reader  is 
defired  to  judge  favourably,  and  mend  with  his  Pen  the  Errors  he  may 
cafually  meet  with."

In  the  second  and  third  volumes  the  quotation  on  the  title-page  is 
omitted,  and  the  number  of  the  volume  precedes  the  author's  name,  while 
both  the  quotation  and  author's  name  are  omitted  in  the  fourth  and  fifth 
volumes.  There  seem  to  have  been  some  copies,  however,  in  which  the 
volume  number  was  used  for  all  the  volumes,  the  quotation  and  author's 
name  being  omitted.  From  these,  and  other  facts,  it  would  seem  as  if  the 
work  were  originally  planned  to  be  complete  in  one  volume,  and  then 
enlarged  volume  by  volume. 

It  is  probable  that,  after  a  few  copies  of  the  first  five  volumes  had  been 
issued,  the  title  and  head-lines  were  changed  to  read  uniformly  with  that 
of  the  sixth  volume.  That  the  title  "Songs  Compleat  ",  etc.,  was  the 
earlier  of  the  two  issues  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  the  catch* 
the  end  of  the  "Table"  in  each  of  the  live  volumes  still  remained 
"Songs",  while  the  running  title  was  changed  to  read.  "  Tills  to  Purge 
Melancholy".
